Kuwait Approves AI Practice Guide
The Kuwaiti Ministry of Health issued an organizational decision regarding the use of artificial intelligence language tools and large language models in the healthcare sector, with the aim of balancing the benefits of technology with the protection of patient privacy and the safety of medical practice. The decision states that outputs from these tools are considered assistive only and are not a substitute for professional judgment. It emphasizes the safeguarding of confidential data and prohibits uploading or sharing personally identifiable information through uncertified tools. The use of these tools is classified into three levels of risk, where simple benefits such as translation and summarization are permitted after human review. However, reliance on AI for final diagnosis or treatment decisions is strictly prohibited. The decision also mandates the development of evaluation mechanisms and accreditation frameworks when employing AI tools in clinical work, and highlights the importance of documentation, monitoring, and reporting any breaches or errors related to the use of these tools.
